Effect of operations in artificial circulation on luminoldependent chemoluminescence of blood

The spontaneous hemoluminescence of blood and wound discharge in 26 patients operated in artificial circulation is studied. In uncomplicated course during artificial circulation and after operation independent of the effect of applied hemodilutants the increase of hemoluminescence of blood is found. Similar changes on days 2—3 after intervention are revealed in wound discharge. The indices approach to the initial values on days 4—5 after artificial circulation. Deviations from described dynamics coincide, as a rule, with grave postoperative state of patients. On the basis of the results of investigations the suggestions of the phagocytes activity changes in artificial circulation are made.
